Description:

Manages FEMAP user commands and the Engineering Tools toolbar. Five operations: export user commands to a file, import them back, clear all user commands, remove orphaned commands whose API path is broken, and (NEW in v1.01) re-map dangling toolbar buttons that reference renamed or removed user-command titles.

Use Instructions:

Run the tool. Choose your operation:

• 1 — Export: Saves your current user commands to a text file you can hand to a colleague or restore later.
• 2 — Import: Reads a previously exported file and registers those commands in your FEMAP.
• 3 — Clear all: Removes every user command in your FEMAP. (Destructive — export first if you want a backup.)
• 4 — Remove orphans: Walks the user-command list, removes any whose stored API path no longer exists on disk. Useful after re-organizing your tools folder.
• 5 — Re-map orphan toolbar references (NEW): Solves the “User Command X is not defined” complaints when customizing toolbars. Saves your toolbar layout to XML, scans for buttons whose Caption no longer matches a current user-command title, and prompts you per-orphan with a smart-suggested re-map (exact match / token-subset / Jaccard similarity) and an alphabetized ListBox of every current user-command title. Pick “Apply suggestion,” “Use list pick,” “Remove,” or “Skip” per orphan, or click Cancel to abort processing the rest. Always backs up your toolbar layout to %TEMP% first.

Requirements:

None beyond an open FEMAP session. Option 5 requires MSXML2.DOMDocument (ships with Windows).

Notes & Example (Option 5 walk-through):

If you renamed a tool from “Make Group of Whole Model” to “Whole Model Group” in a previous Engineering Tools install, a toolbar button still tries to reference the old title and FEMAP shows “User Command X is not defined.” Run Option 5: it surfaces the orphan, suggests “Whole Model Group” as the closest match (token-subset heuristic), and offers to apply. After all orphans processed, the layout is reloaded and the toolbar entries resolve cleanly.

Advanced Users:

Decisions are cached per orphan caption, so duplicate references only prompt once. The XML re-write hooks the Caption attribute on each button (per FEMAP API doc, feAddToolbarSubmenuUserCommand resolves user commands by cmdTitle on layout load).
